How to Pick Out a 8 Lug Hub to fit a 5,200 lb Dexter Axle
Updated 11/03/2014 | Published 11/02/2014
Question:
Hi, I would like to change from 6 lug wheels to 8 lug on my 2007 Featherlite triple axle toyhauler so that I can use the wheels I have. I believe theyre the 5200# axles, even though the trailer manufacturer lists them as 4800#. Would 8-219-4UC3 work? I noticed that it uses a different outer bearing, but probably has more to do with the drum than with the axle stub. The trailer is currently in storage about 65 miles away so would be hard to disassemble and take measurements. Are all the parts in the kit made by Dexter or just the hub and drum? Thanks,

It is hard for me to say with absolute certainty, but most likely the part # 8-219-4UC3 would work for your 5,200 lb Dexter axle since this hub is designed to fit most 5,200 lb Dexter axles. But the only way to verify this would be to either pull your hubs and measure the spindles or get the bearing numbers.
This is especially true since you said your outer bearing is a different number than what the # 8-219-4UC3 has. A lot of times the 4,800 and 5,200 axles are the same with the only difference being the spindles. Which would explain why you have a different outer bearing number.
The hub and drums are made by Dexter but the bearings are often made by TruRyde.
